The World of Kanako (or: Killer’s Legacy - based on context provided; if "杀手寓言" is a direct title, please confirm preferred English version)
 
 
 
A genius assassin known as "Fable," who can eliminate any target in six seconds and is shrouded in legend, is a fearsome figure that sends chills through the underworld. Having worked under "The Boss" (played by Kōichi Satō) since childhood, he and his partner (played by Fumino Kimura) have taken down countless targets. Fearing that his notoriety might attract unwanted attention, The Boss one day orders Fable and his partner to live in Osaka for a year without killing anyone — on pain of death. So, using the alias "Sato Akira," Fable and his partner disguise themselves as siblings and begin their first-ever life as ordinary people...
 Faced with this sudden new life, he starts keeping pets, taking odd jobs, and even has to pretend to be weak and not fight back when bullied by thugs. Though he gradually adapts to life as a non-lethal civilian, killers who want to take him out — or people who beg for his help — keep crossing his path, forcing him into tough choices. How will he survive this ordinary year without killing anyone?
